Re: Your last listen

Nektar 'Remember The Future, Live In New Jersey 2002' (2023) https://media.s-bol.com/xBgDmRm5B233/vPE8y0/550x550.jpg One of the bands that I fanatically collect is 70's psych/space-rock outfit Nektar.

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

Been having a good mess-around with the H2 player and have got a grip on what it's capable of. Included was a 64Gb micro SD card, very nice. The H2 accepts up to 256Gb extra storage or a maximum of 15,000 songs in its database. The operating system is fairly easy to master. I like proper buttons rat...

Re: Streaming and payments to artists

This article from The Guardian last year tells that CD sales are picking up as 'true' music fans are returning to physical media and the digital discs are far more affordable than overpriced vinyl. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/09/cd-sales-uk-music-sales-2023-taylor-swift-miley-cyrus...

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

The Hifi Walker H2 has arrived and I'm giving it a quick initial listen. 1. It doesn't like earphone plugs that have the extra connection for a phone mic. Standard stereo 3.5mm plug works fine. (EDIT: not entirely correct - only the Sony Buds I tried first) 2. It drives my AudioQuest Nighthawk Carbo...

Re: Streaming and payments to artists

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

Soooo ... to cheer myself up a bit, I have ordered a new toy. The very excellent Fiio X3 music player that I use in the car has been doing sterling service for at least 10 years now but I am concerned that it'll stop working one of these days and, also, modern connectivity demands that you have devi...
